Director of Finance

Director of Finance Group Finance - Multi-Entity, Multi-Currency - Remote, Philippines Reports to Chief Financial Officer Direct reports Accounting Manager (Philippines), Senior Accountant (Philippines) Works alongside Canada-based Controller, staff accountant and AP clerk - who report separately to the Canada Controller Entities in scope Nine - three operating companies and six corporate/holding entities (Canada, United States, Barbados) Location Remote - Philippines (home-based) Working hours 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time (approx. 9:00 p.m. - 6:00 a.m. PHT), Monday to Friday Language Fluent English - written and spoken (mandatory) Engagement Full-time, permanent, via Philippine Employer of Record or BPO partner Status Draft v4 - prepared 19 August 2026 - for CFO review before posting Position Summary The Director of Finance owns the group reporting layer across all nine entities - consolidation, intercompany, foreign-currency translation, technical accounting, forecasting and audit - so that the CFO can concentrate on capital, tax structure, transactions and executive matters. Day-to-day transaction processing is owned by a separate Canada-based team; your accountability is the accuracy, timeliness and defensibility of what is reported on top of it. This is a build role, not a maintenance role. The Group s reporting currently carries known open items - unreconciled intercompany balances across jurisdictions, a derived equity plug, no formal foreign-exchange policy, and inconsistent sign conventions between entity ledgers. You will be expected to close these out, put the supporting policies and controls in place, and hold them there. You will manage a team of two - an Accounting Manager and a Senior Accountant - and are accountable for their output, their development and the quality of what reaches the CFO. With a team this size relative to nine entities, you will remain hands-on: expect to prepare as well as review. You report directly to the Chief Financial Officer. Read this next paragraph carefully before applying. The Canada-based Controller owns the traditional accounting cycle and reports to the CFO, not to you. You nonetheless own the group close calendar, the reporting standards, the technical accounting positions and every deliverable that depends on that team s output. This role therefore requires you to run a process across a team you do not manage, twelve time zones from your own, using clear service standards, documented handoffs and early escalation rather than hierarchy. Candidates who have only operated with direct line authority over everyone who feeds their numbers will find this role difficult. The Group and the Scope of the Role The Group comprises nine legal entities operating across Canada, the United States and Barbados. The successful candidate supports all nine: • Three operating companies - Family Focus (community health and support services), HavenPoint Health (clinic and independent medical examination operations) and Prolexity (professional services). • Six corporate, holding and investment entities - comprising Canadian, U.S. and Barbados holding companies, a management services company and an investment/rental holding entity. The Group reports in Canadian dollars with material U.S. dollar and Barbados dollar activity, extensive intercompany and shareholder-loan balances, a shared-services cost pool allocated across entities, and a recurring group reporting package of eight standard schedules plus standalone entity packages that must agree to the consolidated result. This is a genuinely multi-entity, multi-currency, multi-jurisdiction environment. It is not a single-ledger bookkeeping job. How the finance function is structured Group finance operates as two teams reporting to the Chief Financial Officer: • A Canada-based team - Controller, staff accountant and accounts payable clerk - which owns the traditional accounting cycle: accounts payable and receivable, disbursements, payroll administration, general-ledger posting, and Canadian statutory compliance, through to an entity-level trial balance. The Controller reports directly to the CFO. • A Philippines-based team - Director of Finance, Accounting Manager and Senior Accountant - which owns everything built on top of those ledgers: group close and consolidation, intercompany reconciliation, foreign-currency translation, the shared-services allocation, group and entity reporting, budgeting and forecasting and technical accounting. The two teams are interdependent. The Philippines team relies on the Canadian team for timely, accurate source data; the Canadian team relies on the Philippines team for the consolidation, reporting, analysis and technical accounting built on top of it. Working effectively across that boundary - across a twelve-hour time difference, and without a shared reporting line below the CFO - is a core requirement of every role on this team, not an incidental one...
